Have you considered just passing it in the screening table? That is
when you construct your svc screening table, just make it bigger
(hopefully mapped by a macro), then when the screening routing gets
control, it can go to the end of the table and pickup any data the main
routine placed there.
Hi Brad,
Yes, you're right. I think this is the best approach. I was thinking to
use SSCTUSER but this would require a lot of extra coding.
Thank you very much guys.

That should work, too, as long as you can single-thread the SVC you are
